NFL Network is reporting...

[sml1950]

....that Peppers is now open to signing a long term contract and the Panthers are working toward this end. The fellow who is apparently replacing Scheter as the inside info reporter said that he has solid knowledge that this is being discussed.

Look for this to be in the range of Haynesworth contract which boiled down to 4 yr/$48 million with $41 mil guarenteed. My guess is a $105 million contract which fleshes out at 4 yr/ $50 million with $44 million guaranteed.

i hope so.

Well where better with him than not. I hope something gets done.

Lets do it. Peppers will get another 40+ sacks to add to his total and possibly be the first Panther to enter the HOF. And I will have to make the trip to Canton to see it. Could we have a HOF Huddle Tailgate in Canton before the ceremony?

i really don't like the idea of an uncapped year because I'm afraid Carolina, as a small market team, won't be able to compete in year and out for the championship. But if we lock him up with gaurenteed 12 mil a year for 4 or 5 years...we may handcuff ourselves as a franchise if the NFL doesn't become uncapped. On the other hand, if we can afford 17 mil in a capped year, maybe it isn't a big deal as long as Pep plays well.

I hope he doesn't become a lazy fug like he was before last season if we decide to give him them paper stacks.

Now if only Jon and Kate can work it out, then world would be perfect.

I'm pretty skeptical about fantasy's played out by pussy hurt fans. He's a Panther, just what Hurney/ Fox wanted, get used to it...

Do any of you guys ever read the comments on the observers blog....every single guy on there is planing on booing him, and I guess are pulling for him to fail as a player. It's amazingly retarded.

Great news !!

Guy changed his mind and wants to remain with the team, we must welcome him!
